question

Ez Robot Abilities

I was just wondering if anybody has posted any videos of an ez-robot completing tasks other than just dancing or other very simple things. People have been receiving them for a short while now so I just thought what I saw would be impressive by now. Not trying to be negative just trying to understand all the hype about it before I get mine cuz I...
question

Digital Servos?

In another thread, DJ said that to prevent the "jump" on power-up of servos, we could use digital servos, and that in the new year EZ-Robots would be offering a line of digital servos with full motion range (apparently a limit on those available today). I have a couple of questions about these. I know digital servos can provide position...

Led Matrix Panel

For a new project I'd like to add an LED Matrix Panel to my robot. I've see a few things in the manual about attaching individual LEDs (https://synthiam.com/tutorials/Hardware.aspx?id=7).

Reversed the connection on all the wires except the powerband ground. So, to save...

question

Limiting Servo Speed After Network Connection

I have an annoying little problem I hope someone can help me with. So, when I power up my EZ-B4 the servos connected to it briefly pulse. Not a problem and expected. All my connected servos have limited speeds and set min/max movement positions. But, after the V4 and my PC connect and I move a servo, any servo, with my controller for the first...

Getcontrolvalue For Camerastart

Hello! I'm having a tinker with EZ Script and have a question about the GetControlValue function. Does anyone know if there is a GetControlValue for CameraStart?
